The name Leo is abbreviated. Name Leo: character and destiny. Description of the name Leo

According to Mendelev

A very pleasant name. The indicators “good”, “beautiful” and “reliable” stand out sharply, but, perhaps, there is nothing left of the king of animals in him: Leo is “small”, and Leva is “slow”.

Leo is always kind to people and benevolent, regardless of their rank, position and “necessity” of them, but others often do not respond to him in the same way: softness is taken for weakness and provokes a desire to look down on him, get around, “wipe off” Leo, especially if he is a contender for success. Leo himself is not very worried about this - he managed to get used to it - and only occasionally accumulated resentment, and not at any particular person, but at all at once, plunges him into despondency. It does not last long, and soon Leo becomes himself again.

He may be a good worker or specialist, but he is more than a mediocre organizer and does not reach administrative heights, although his intelligence is above average.

Appreciates a calm, measured, settled life and perceives its sharp turns very painfully.

The excitability and sexuality of Leo is somewhat below average, and his novels sometimes end peacefully, without ending with anything. Women more often see him as a reliable friend than a sexual partner.

Intuition is well developed, but only within a narrow specific area, most often one's specialty. The reaction is slow: in unexpected situations, it can be confused.

He is in good health, rarely gets sick, is never treated, and often lives to a ripe old age.

The color of the name is grass green.

By Higiru

It originates from the Latin word "leo" - a lion. He grows up as a calm and somewhat phlegmatic boy. He does not whimper over trifles, and if he has a tantrum, it means that he was very offended. At school, he is a bully, but he can protect himself and his friends. She enjoys swimming, fishing and picking mushrooms.

Persistent in achieving the goal, very conscientious in deeds and promises, and thanks to these qualities, over time, he occupies a good position in society. He has few envious and ill-wishers. Yes, this is not surprising: he seems to radiate warmth and kindness, readiness to always come to the rescue. Lions are especially friendly to the elderly and the sick, so they often choose the profession of a doctor. They also have such valuable qualities as tolerance and flexibility, the ability to refuse what they want. But the restraint of Leo the boss is not unlimited, and after a series of soft, correct and polite remarks in form, he can suddenly burst into anger. His wife should feel the moment when her husband's long-suffering runs out... It's not for nothing that Lions value fidelity and kindness in wives most of all.

They are preoccupied with sexual problems and at the slightest setbacks give in to panic. The love of love, which is sometimes noted in their youth, is most often due to uncertainty in their potency .. Lions are not brawlers, but for some reason they come across rather impulsive persons as their wives. They drink from time to time, rarely become alcoholics. They love to play noisy games with children.

He can count on a happy marriage if his chosen one is called Aurora, Agnia, Anna, Ada, Veda, Victoria, Dina, Olga, Ella. A strong alliance with Agnes or Lydia is very problematic.

According to D. and N. Zima

The meaning and origin of the name: From the Greek Leon, "Lion"

Name energy and character: This name speaks for itself, a person who calls himself a lion must either at least slightly correspond to the strength of this image, or his name will take on the character of a mockery. First of all, even during childhood, Leva can become the object of a childish game of teasing, when the neighboring children will try to bring him to white heat with their ridicule, so that Leva chases them a little. However, many parents who give their child such a name prefer to isolate the boy from the harmful influence of the street, in their opinion, and often thereby do Leva a truly disservice. In the end, in adulthood, Leo will still have to deal with those who grew up on the same street, and his absolute ignorance of these people may affect here. For example, they suddenly seem rude and evil to him, which is why Leo himself can become thoroughly embittered.

Leva's fate is more favorable when he, as they say, recognizes life. Sooner or later, children's grievances are thoroughly forgotten. It is possible, however, that during his youth, Leo will still hear a lot of ridicule regarding his masculine qualities, which may be questioned by rivals. Here he has two ways - either to prove his courage with the help of force and scandals, or to learn to take it calmly. Here it is very important not to forget that hurt pride sometimes endows a person with very unpleasant character traits. Sometimes it doesn’t even interfere with self-affirmation and fight, so that pride receives the necessary satisfaction and gives a person confidence in his abilities.

If in adolescence Leo manages to gain self-confidence, then his character will really correspond to his name, combining poise, good nature, ambition and energy. If not, then all this will be overshadowed by such traits as irritability and suspicion, which make his character unbearable. It may not be noticeable to others, but the family can suffer fundamentally from these negative qualities.

However, the energy of the name still inclines Leo to some secrecy, so even if he has problems with his character, then most likely this will not affect his career, especially since, pardon the pun, the lion's share of those around him is very favorably disposed to bearers of this name.

Communication secrets: Unfortunately, in a close circle, Leo often tends to point out people's shortcomings, forgetting that he could be mistaken in his perception. The same often applies to the Leo boss, who is difficult to convince of his good intentions, but can easily be called too picky. However, if you discuss conflicting issues with him in some detail and without emotion, then it is quite possible that his nit-picking will change sign to the opposite. If you have a balanced Leo in front of you, then these questions will not arise at all.

The trace of a name in history:

Lev Landau

A typical example of an ambitious, but at the same time cheerful and good-natured Leo, is the famous theoretical physicist Lev Landau (1908–1968), the author of the classic course in theoretical physics, whose name is associated with the following story:

“An old and a young Jew are traveling in a compartment. The old one thinks to himself: “This young man is not rich, otherwise he would have been traveling in the first class. He made the bed, which means he is going to the end, to Berdichev. Judging by the clothes, he is a student, therefore, he is traveling on a personal matter. What business can a young man have besides marriage? So, we have three brides in our city now: Sarah - but she is a rich bride, they won’t give her away for him. Rava - but she is a dowry, and he will not marry her. So Raya. It is known that Raya is marrying some Rabinovich ... "And the old Jew turns to his companion:

- Mr. Rabinovich ...

- How do you know me?

- Calculated.

- Well, now you know what theoretical physics is - this is how Lev Landau usually began his course of lectures.

Four years later, he leaves his position and moves with his father Theodore to the forest, where they wanted to asceticize in solitude. But the rumor about the two ascetics quickly spread among believers. The people reached out to the righteous.

In 1829 Saint Leo returned to Optina Hermitage. He began to nourish the brethren, healed people, many demon-possessed after the prayers of Fr. The lion was relieved. The eldership of the monk in Optina Hermitage lasted 12 years. In 1841, he peacefully reposed in the Lord.
